What follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.

Smile is a graphic memoir by New York Times bestselling author Raina Telgemeier. In this coming-of-age book, a sixth-grader named Raina undergoes crazy dental surgery after severely knocking out her two front teeth in a fall. Raina has to wear braces and do crazy dental surgery. She also copes with crushes, mean friends, family, and daily life. This is a great book and I totally reccomend it to fans of comics. For those of you who enjoyed Smile, I reccomend the follow-ups, Sisters and Guts, as well al the Baby-Sitters Club series. Happy reading! :D

This book is about Raina. One day, she gets her front teeth knocked out. This book is about the journey on how she gets her teeth fixed. It's also about how she faces bullying and loneliness. I liked this book because of the story and the meaning of the story. Also, I liked the drama in this book. I recommend this book!

An autobiography written by Raina. Raina is a 6th grader, middle school. she gets into a bit of trouble in her middle school. This is an autobiography, so readers get a chance to become Raina while reading. Awesome book.
